How can I set a default view for Windows Explorer?
It seems that each folder gets a different view style depending on its
contents. Like ... if a folder has lots of .mp3 files, it will show details
for mp3 files, pictures are shown as thumbnails and so on. But I don't want
that. I want file details no matter what folder contents.
Tried set APPLY TO ALL FODERS in folder's options, but it doesn't work.
